PI3PCIE2612-BZFE

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI3PCIE2612-BZFE is a high-bandwidth, six-differential channel 1-to-2 multiplexer/demultiplexer designed for next-generation systems combining PCI Express Gen2 and Display Port signals. It supports 5.0 Gbps PCIe Gen2 on one path and DP 1.1 signals on the second path. The device operates at a VDD of 3.3V ± 10% with a case temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum bit-to-bit skew of 7ps, a maximum channel-to-channel skew of 35ps, and low off-isolation of -35dB at 2.5 GHz. It is housed in a 56-contact TQFN (ZFE) package.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Supports simultaneous routing of PCI Express Gen2 and Display Port 1.1 signals through dedicated differential paths.
• Features latched mux select control via SEL and LE# pins for stable signal switching.
• Provides matched paths for all PCIe signals to ensure consistent signal integrity.
• Delivers low crosstalk and high off-isolation for high-speed channels.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Routing DP and PCIExpress Gen1 or Gen2 signals with low signal attenuation.
• Next-generation systems combining PCI-Express Gen2 signals with Display Port Signals.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes
